The Giving Hands

The Recycling Unit of Eden Handicap was started in June 1997 to encourage people with disabilities to become self-confident and independent. The Recycling Unit is one of the main sources of income for the Eden Handicap and moreover, recycling supports the global call to save the environment!! :)

The Recycling Unit “warehouse” is located at the following address:

102-E Lengkok Kampung Jawa 2

The trainees are either physically or intellectually challenged. Eden Handicap undertakes to include the intellectually-challenged in their development programmes especially in recycling because they realise that it is difficult for them to be trained in other programmes. Through the recycling programme, the intellectually-challenged are given a chance to feel that they can actually contribute to the society and the environment! :) Moreover, recycling is a very suitable job for the intellectually-challenged under supervision of the physically disabled.

The training takes on a simple “buddy system” concept. Coupled with moral and emotional support, Eden Handicap’s Recycling Unit makes a difference in the lives of people with disabilities and their families.
